Paleoconservatives, lol. The photo is perfect, hear nothing, see nothing, say nothing, and finally do nothing. The part of the Conservative movement that wants to stick its head in the sand and hope the bad men go away.

Although some of their ideas on minimal government and the nuclear family I do identify with, they give way to much credence to old Europe. Some might even call them a throwback to Monarchism.

One other thing that drives me nuts about them is they are constantly invoking Burke. Burke would have had nothing to do with the Paleo-Conservative movement. He was not against change; he was against dogmatic and reactionary change.

On one hand he despised the French Revolution but supported the American. He was for British intervention in the world because he felt that his country was the model for modern day civilization and should be shown to the rest of the world.

To the Paleo types I leave you with this.

"A state without the means of change is without the means of its conservation."

wHoA!
